And it will go on for another decade while they continue to appeal. Then they will get their consent decree, which they will violate and be back to court again for another decade. Eventually the government will drop the case. With luck, a decent sheriff will have been elected by then.

This proves that the sheriff wasn’t lying when he said SB 1070 wouldn’t lead to racial profiling from the police…because clearly they’ve been doing it all along anyway. Good to see an honest politician. Warm and fuzzies all around.

You’re welcome. It was my pleasure, and totally worth it even though we lost. I really liked Paul — a lot. I’ve met tons of politicians and whatnot through the years and man, he was just a nice guy. Not a politician — just a guy that cares very much for his city/county. I’m still so pissed! :P

Well, not to be pedantic, but it is misleading. Are we profiling racists? Are racists doing the profiling? If so, of who? Or did the author make an ignorant mistake and confuse “racist” with “racial”? As I was pointing out, it was more of an attempt to create a sensationalist headline (i.e., link bait) rather than just tell the story with its own merits. “Editorializing” more than “cute”, I think, and it obviously detracts from the real story. It also means that the article is less likely to be found by people searching for the proper term, “racial profiling,” doing a disservice to the cause that is behind the intentional choice of “racist profiling” in the title.
